My teen coworkers told me that he found an old Xbox 360 in his basement and has had a lot of fun playing "retro" games like Tony Hawk Underground and Burnout 3. (hexbear.net)

but also being excited at the prospect of introducing "the youth" to cool old shit they don't know about.

Oh jeeze, the sudden pressure....

uh ... y'all ever hear about Bio-Booster Armor Guyver? Or the two live action adaptations, the first of which blows ass and false-advertises Mark Hamil (of liberalism fame) as the main character, and the second of which (The Guyver: Dark Hero) stars David Hayter (most famous for voicing Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series) as the protagonist "Sean" (the cracker-fication of "Sho Fukamachi").

The basic idea is that a guy gets implanted with an alien parasite that turns into bio-mechanical armor (the titular "Guyver"), but there's this evil corporation of shape-shifting mutants / aliens that also want it, so the plot basically turns into a mix of X-Files but also sometimes he turns into a fucking robot-alien man and explodes monsters with his titty-cannons.

EDIT: The first half of the older anime adaptation (by good ol' MANGA home video!) is available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiPz9C7tmq7-Rj2KR7M4EQDb-U0GqBMh
